DRILLSHIP * “PACIFIC SANTA ANNA”

* Drilling Contractor: Pacific Drilling

year built / delivered: 1Q 2012

The drillship owned by Pacific Drilling is thought to be the first of its kind in the world equipped to perform dual
gradient drilling (DGD).
DGD uses a subsea mud pump (Chevron design) to withdraw the drilling mud from the well at the seabed and return it
through a separate line to the drillship.
It is equipped with a DGD riser , a mud lift pump handling system, six mud pumps – three for drilling fluid and three for
seawater – extensive fluid management system enhancements .
